Text and tasks together
Keep a sentence, a checklist, a heading or a divider in one continuous note. Use the slash picker to add the next block.
Floaties
Keep a thought
close to your work.
Floating Mac notes for the sentence you don't want to lose, the checklist you're working through, and the next thing on your mind.
macOS 13 or later
DMG and ZIP on GitHub
Local notes and recovery
A little space beside everything else.
Floaties lives in the menu bar and keeps notes above your other apps. Text and checklists share one note, with local storage and recovery when you need to bring something back.
THE USEFUL DETAILS
Close to the way you work.
Arrange your own space
Move, resize, collapse and colour notes. Optional titles keep their subject visible even when the note is collapsed.
Follow your work
Pin a note across Desktops or leave it on the current Desktop. Floating windows keep it nearby while you switch apps.
Bring a note back
The dashboard includes Recently Deleted. Local persistence and a backup save help keep notes available between sessions.
THE WORKFLOW
From a thought to the next step.
Catch the thought
Create a note from the menu bar and start writing.
Turn it into a next step
Add checklist items alongside your text. Collapse a section when you want less on screen.
Keep it where you need it
Resize and pin the note, or collapse it to its title while you focus elsewhere.
